Alexander Simmons
Motto:It's a wise man who knows his own ignorance.
Alexander Simmons, a dedicated educational consultant and author of the critically acclaimed book "Unlocking Potential: Strategies for Success in Learning and Life," has made it his mission to support students, educators, and families facing challenges related to learning differences. As someone who grew up in San Francisco with firsthand experience navigating his own learning disabilities, Alexander brings a unique blend of personal insight and over 20 years of professional expertise in education and psychology.
Since establishing his consultancy in New York City in 2015, Alexander has been committed to fostering an environment where learners of all types can thrive. His work focuses on empowering individuals with tools and strategies to overcome obstacles, build confidence, and achieve academic and personal success. Alexander's approach is not only informed by his background as an educator but also by his role as a father of two children with distinct learning styles.
In addition to writing and consulting, Alexander travels across North America to deliver engaging talks and interactive seminars on topics such as personalized learning plans, fostering resilience, understanding diverse learning needs, and supporting young adults transitioning into higher education. He is a frequent guest on educational podcasts like The Learning Revolution and contributes regularly to Edutopia.org and The Huffington Post Education section.
